For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Checking a person\u2019s name, address, and date of birth can help to verify that a director is who they say they are.<\/li>\n<li>By searching the register of disqualified officers, you can check that an individual is not acting as a company director whilst banned from doing so.<\/li>\n<li>Identifying whether a director has associations with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/publications\/phoenix-companies-and-the-role-of-the-insolvency-service\/phoenix-companies-and-the-role-of-the-insolvency-service\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">phoenix companies<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>An individual holding multiple director appointments may be stretched too thin and unable to devote enough time to each business.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li>A director with numerous resignations may be cause for concern.

This can help you spot any red flags and minimise risk.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to conducting a search on the public registers we&#8217;ve discussed, consider checking the director&#8217;s LinkedIn profile and social media.
